Last week I was asking about when and why you started using Linux, thank you everyone who took their time to write an answer! It was interesting to read all of your guys stories and I was surprised just how far back some of them go.
Now I am curious about your guys DE/WMs. What do you use? What do you like/don’t like about it? What have you tried? What is you go to? Any you absolutely can not stand the sight of? Any that you tried that disappointed you?
Once again no judgment, just curious about peoples experiences.
I’m a big fan of tiling WMs. Even though in the past I did try GNOME/KDE, I never really sticked because I wanted a more bare-bones experience to learn how to configure the system via command line.
At first, I tried i3, then switched to dwm as using a real programming language for configuration felt more liberating. Unfortunately, it also didn’t work out because I quickly stumbled upon patches incompatibilities and it was a nightmare to debug.
As a result, here I am, running AwesomeWM. Getting used to millions of keybindings was painful, but it was certainly worth it because
nobody can use my computer nowto me it’s really convenient to do everything with a keyboard.
